1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectivesHypertension is commonly associated with an endothelial dysfunction that may contribute to the rise in blood pressure. Little information has been available so far on the role of endothelium-derived nitric oxide(EDNO) in renin-dependent, 2-kidney, 1 clip(2KIC) hypertension. The present study was aimed to determine a role for EDNO in the development and maintenance of 2KIC hypertension.

methodsThe effects of blocking synthesis or supplementation with precursor of EDNO on the development of hypertension were determined in 2KIC rats. Vascular responses to acetylcholine, nitroprusside, atrial natriuretic peptide and nifedipine were examined in 7- and 12-week hypertensive 2KIC rats.

resultsNG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester caused a sustained increase of blood pressure in normal rats, while it was only partially associated with a more pronounced increase of blood pressure in the developmental phase of hypertension in 2KIC rats. In 7-week and 12-week hypertensive rats, phenylephrine-induced contraction of the isolated thoracic aortic rings was more sensitive compared with control. Their acetylcholine-induced relaxation was attenuated while the responses to nitroprusside or atrial natriuretic peptide were unaltered. Although their blood pressure did not differ between 7-week and 12-week hypertensive groups, the attenuation in the acetylcholine-induced relaxation was more prominent in the latter with a longer duration of hypertension. Indomethacin did not affect the attenuated relaxation to acetylcholine. The relaxation response to nifedipine was more pronounced in 2KIC rats.

conclusionThese results indicate that ENDO has little influence of the 2KIC hypertension, at least during its developmental phase, which is associated with an activated reninangiotensin system. The chronic stage of 2KIC hypertension, however, is associated with an endothelial dysfunction which may contribute to the enhanced vasoconstriction and sustained high blood pressure.
